Rock News Story Of The Year No. 6: JOURNEY
In June, Journey guitarist and founder Neal Schon revealed some apparent dissention within the band with a series of social media posts directed towards keyboardist Jonathan Cain.
“I want to be elevated by whom I play with, not feel like I've got cement shoes,” posted Schon on Instagram. “If anyone is unhappy they are not running My band, then They should leave.”
Schon got more specific with some follow-up comments (which were deleted), writing, “I’ve stated how I felt about mixing Religion and Politics and how our music is not of 1 religion – Democratic or Republican. This is and has been an issue with myself Mr Cain and his now wife since he married” – a reference to Cain’s wife, Pentecostal Christian televangelist Paula White.
